Those With A Sense Of Honor Poem by Francis Duggan

Those with a sense of honor in honor take pride
Behind a cloak of falseness such people never do hide
Their word is their bond and on keeping their word they insist
If everyone were like them written contracts would not exist
To their higher selves they do remain true
And great credit for this they surely are due
Their word is their bond and true to their word they remain
Even though in their word for them no financial gain
If everybody had honor of written contracts there would not be any need
But the greatest barrier to honor is of course human greed
When i say people who stick to their word are and were always few
On this i am not saying anything that is new
Truly honorable people one can only admire
And of singing their praises i never could tire.
